Representative Text

1 There is only one way to the cross,
One cross to which sinners may cling;
No other can save you from loss,
This only salvation can bring.

Refrain:
Then counting but loss,
The world and its dross,
Believing on Jesus,
Come kneel at the cross.

2 There is only one name under heaven,
By which you may ever attain
A hope to be heard and forgiven,
And brought to salvation again. [Refrain]

3 There is only one kingdom to win,
One home with the blood-washed above;
He'll help thee who died for thy sin;
Oh, fear not, but trust in his love. [Refrain]
